The screams are returning to Brookdale Community College's Performing Arts Center (PAC) this October as the award-winning Brookdale Haunted Theater celebrates its 23rd year with a full lineup of Halloween experiences.&nbsp; 
From its signature immersive haunt to a family-friendly lights-on tour and a late-night screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Voted Best Overall Attraction for seven consecutive years by <a href="https://www.brookdalecc.edu/pac/haunted-theater/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">NJHauntedHouses.com</a>, Brookdale’s Haunted Theater has become a Halloween tradition for thrill-seekers throughout New Jersey. At the heart of it all is an attraction imagined and brought to life by Brookdale students. Designed, built, and operated by past and present students, the Haunted Theater transforms the entire Performing Arts Center into a terrifying labyrinth filled with gruesome scenes, sinister creatures, elaborate sets, special effects, and heart-pounding surprises. This isn’t a stage show. Guests make their way through a fully immersive haunted house experience that winds through the facility, with frights lurking around every corner.&nbsp;Enter if you dare. The Haunted Theater will be open Oct. 16–18, 23–25, and 29–30, from 6 to 10 p.m. at Brookdale Community College PAC, 765 Newman Springs Road, Lincroft, NJ, off&nbsp;Museum Drive. Tickets are $20 and must be purchased in advance for a designated time slot. Group rates are automatically applied for groups of 10 or more and 25 or more, and buses are welcome. Convenient parking is available in Lot 2, with accessible parking in Lot 1.For tickets and additional information, visit the <a href="https://www.brookdalecc.edu/pac/haunted-theater/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Brookdale Haunted Theater webpage</a><a href="https://www.brookdalecc.edu/pac/haunted-theater/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">.</a>&nbsp;Questions may be directed to the box office at <a href="tel:(732)%20224-2411" target="_blank">732-224-2411</a> or <a href="mailto:brookdalehauntedtheater@gmail.com" target="_blank">brookdalehauntedtheater@gmail.com</a>

An Essex County home inspector has built a free website that lets anyone look up the public records behind a New Jersey property &mdash; building permits, flood zones, fire history, property taxes, and more &mdash; by typing in an address.
The site, <a href="https://oprasearch.app/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Permit &amp; Parcel</a>, covers all 564 New Jersey municipalities and brings together records from official sources, including state and county databases, FEMA flood maps, and the towns&rsquo; own municipal codes. No account or email is required, and there&rsquo;s no cost.
&ldquo;I kept watching buyers fall in love with a house before anyone checked the paper trail &mdash; the open permits, the flood zone, what the town actually requires when a home changes hands,&rdquo; said Leo Betancor, a Certified Master Inspector based in Cedar Grove and the founder of the site. &ldquo;All of that is public record. It just wasn&rsquo;t in one place anyone could actually use.&rdquo;
Alongside the main lookup, the site includes free single-purpose tools: a <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/lead-safe/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">lead-safe inspection lookup</a> showing which of the two state-required inspection methods each town uses under New Jersey&rsquo;s lead paint law, a searchable <a href="https://oprasearch.app/lead-contractors/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">directory of DCA-certified lead evaluation and abatement contractors</a> sorted by distance, a <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/fire/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">fire-incident map</a> built from more than 40 years of state fire records, and a <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/radon/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">radon map</a> covering every municipality.
Homeowners can also <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/tax/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">look up property taxes and assessments</a>, <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/hvac-age/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">check the age of a furnace, air conditioner or water heater</a> using its serial number, and <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/co/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">find their town&rsquo;s certificate-of-occupancy requirements</a> before selling or renting a home.
A companion site, <a href="https://njflood.zone/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">njflood.zone</a>, gives instant FEMA flood-zone answers for any New Jersey address &mdash; built after the federal government shutdown left FEMA&rsquo;s own map site unreliable &mdash; running on the site&rsquo;s own servers with the complete flood map data for the state loaded locally.
As an added benefit for homebuyers, Permit &amp; Parcel users can receive $100 off a qualifying home inspection with Smart Choice Inspections, Betancor&rsquo;s North Jersey home inspection company.
The project was recently featured in <a href="https://www.tapinto.net/towns/east-hanover-slash-florham-park/columns/at-home-with-holly/articles/deep-dive-conversations-what-the-house-won-t-tell-you" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">TAPinto.</a>&nbsp;Both sites are FREE at <a href="https://oprasearch.app/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">oprasearch.app</a> and <a href="https://njflood.zone/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">njflood.zone</a>.
